Sands of Time

Acrylic on wood with collected sea-glass and 'treasure coins'
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints in the sands of time.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"We have found a strange footprint on the shores of the unknown.
We have devised profound theories, one after another,
to account for its origin. At last, we have succeeded in the
reconstruction of the creature that made the footprint.
And lo: It is our own.
- Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington
as quoted by John E. Fetzer
